Did you guys even watch most of the video??
At some point he (the player) jumps down and goes right behind some zeds, and they keep ignoring him and hitting the wall.
Blake_ gave the best explanation IMO, but you guys ignoring the fact that the AI is not working very well doesn't help the game or faatal. :nono:

Are you sure? I can't remember locking inventory slots to be working in A19.
They surely talked about it, but I don't think it was ever added. :confused2:

Would love if you could right click a slot and lock it as I like to have my items in certain ones all around my inventory...not just certain number starting from the first slot.

Would be cool if they get to the point where they can make 32+ max alive zombies the default. Zombie ai would probably be easier to balance if you can just throw more at the player, heh.
Been having a lot of fun with 64 max alive.
No. 7 minutes is not a short video in my book.
Which is why I said "and only retarget if they actually have a path to you"
Lockable slots are not in vanilla. All the sort buttons are, but not the lockable slots.

Obviously, since I was talking about a way to improve the AI. ... need a pair of reading glasses??

The lockable slots are in vanilla, just not enabled. The relevant part of the xml is commented out. The lockable slot mod I use just adds back the code that's already there.

This happens to me very often. Wandering hordes, regular zombies, even screamers sometimes. It's as if the AI calculates that the player is still in their former position.

I don't believe our intention was to submit a bug. I'd like to think we were merely... sharing observations.
Add-on: Besides, this hiccup of an AI fluke is a very minor issue; certainly nothing to look into in the games' current development. So let us all forget about it and move on.

By not in vanilla, i meant not enabled in vanilla. I'm aware that they are in the code but not enabled, and that the mods that have lockable slots are using tfp code.

Do you think such a feature could benefit the player somehow or is it just another excuse to be lazy?; the latter is what the human mind gravitates towards. It's important to ask these sorts of questions before proceeding forward. It's just a minor inconvenience. Accidentally deposited your shotgun shells away? Just grab them back out, or alternatively have a separate dump chest where you deposit all of your typical gear that you keep in your backpack before you start to organize what you have collected out in the world, then collect your items back from the dump chest and carry on.
Many features (vehicles, larger storage, etc) benefit the player, while you could say also is an excuse to be "lazy". I do like quality of life improvements, although personally i can enjoy the game without them.
The lockable slots are a nice addition in the overhaul mods i play, but i don't use modlets to add them to my vanilla games, although i certainly could.
From what i recall, they haven't been added to the vanilla game because they haven't been completely bug tested and such.
I hope they are added into vanilla game play at some point, but i am quite content to wait for it.

You didn't ask me, but I think lockable slots makes it more realistic. We have pocket mods for the clothes and the armor, but if we dump out our backpack, it's dumping everything, our entire inventory (well, except the toolbelt). In other games that have some similarity to 7DtD, the backpack, pockets on clothes, pants, etc. are separate so if you drop the backpack you still have all the other stuff. I'm not suggesting 7DtD go that route, but lockable slots is a compromise between that and the current vanilla implementation.
